The same is true of *any* chess program. If you keep searching for something to exploit, eventually you will find something. In fact, I imagine that every chess programmer knows of some holes in their program. Naturally, it isn't the sort of thing they are going to make public. In any case, play against a chess program with takebacks. You will find that you can eventually win unless you are a complete idiot. Now, just record the winning moves and try again. Eventually (through a very simple method like this) you can detect and exploit weaknesses or opening book errors. If anything, it is his strongest point.
